Subject: Re: [xsl] Self-closing elements upset some browsers From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:54:09 GMT |
The simplest (and arguably most correct) solution is to generate html rather than xhtml, so generate elements in no-namespace starting with <html> and then the xslt serialiser will then use html syntax. If you generate XHTML then if you send it to a system that understands XHTML the sytntax that you show will work correctly, otherwise you have to mess with the black arts f adding white space or comments to try to let the file (which will necessarily be full of html syntax errors) limp through an html browser's "tag soup" parsing without any serious errors. > my major problem, with these links (and similarly with <script /> elements > is that browsers do not like these 'self-closing' elements. firefox, opera, safari etc will have no problem with this syntax so long as you send the file with an xhtml mime type. It is just IE (even the latest IE 8 beta) which still fails to recognise XHTML.
